LIVE FOOD FOK SNAKES.
Reasons why Lawmakers should
Not Gedd1e with Big Serpemts.


Not Nleddle with Big Serpemts.
Philadelphia Record.
The bill which has been brought before
the Pennsylvania legislature through the
efforts of benevolent people. and which is
intended, among other things. to prohi bit
the feeding of live animals to snakes in
menageries and geological gardens, is
looked upon with much disfavor by owners
of reptiles and by those interested in 20
ology. In event of its becoming law this
measure would prove a great obstacle to
owners of geological collections, and would
result in depriving such exhibitions of an
attractive and important feature.
Snakes are very particular as to their
diet" said Head Keeper Byrne, of the
Geological garden They will not touch
any food that is smeared or has any odor,
and they will not eat anything unless al
lowed to kill it themselves. They are often
very irregular i'll their eating, and under
such circumstances they will eat only the
most tempting food, if indeed they can be
induced to take anything. Now, there is
our big anaconda. He came here last July
and has not eaten anything since. When
eating regularly he ought to feed every
day. He has just shed his skin, and will
probably eat before long. We are trying
him now with different kinds of food to see
if he cannot be induced to eat. Every night
we put before him. a spring chicken.
guinea pig or some other small animal,
but thus far he has shown no inclination to
partake of any of them. Difficult as it is
to induce them to eat live food. it would be
utterly impossible to get them to touch
dead meat, or to mix up any food which
they would take. If we should be prOhib-
would be obliged to give UP keeping them.
l cannot see anything cruel about giving
live food to the snakes. 1t is their natural
they should not live in the same way in
confinement Most people have an idea
that we feed the snakes before the visitors,
but it is not so. We never feed them until
after the last visitor has left the grounds at
night, and then no one is present but the
keeper.
1T would be great loss in more ways
than one to give up keeping collection Of
snakes. In addition to their forming an
important feature of the garden, they are
very valuable from a medical point OF view.
Many physicians come here from time to
time to get poison from the venomOuS rep
tiles. This poison is a very valuable rem
edy in certain forms of nervous diseases,
and if this source of supply be removed il
will be Il serious loss. The manner in
which the poison is obtained is quite inter
estihg. The keeper, armed with thick
glove, seizes the snake around the neck and
presents small glass to the irritated ami

THE STATE OF TRADE.
entertainment and Uncertainty
Caused by the Interstate Commerce


New YORK, April s.-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly trade review say: THE
interstate act causes quite as much dis
turbance as was anticipated. Shipments in
the aggregate enormous, for distribution
beyond Chicago, have to be re-biIled there.
Merchants and manufacturers find rates
raised from so to so per cent on many dis
tant shipments. The Pacific lines COM
plain that tranScOntinental traffic is rem
dered impossible unless they are exempted.
The association of twenty-seven Southern
roads and lines has already obtained tenn
porary exemption because of constant in
terrupton of traffic. The Northern lines
competing with lake or canal transporters
claim equal needs and, interior roads
cite large shipments of flour down the
Mississippi. because through rail rates
are raised. Coal rates increase the cost OF
fuel 81 per ton about Philadelphia Changes
in iron rates disturb the trade, and NAV
close some furnaces. These are but few
of the difficulties which the commission is
expected to examine and in some way to
remedy, but the question is how far is it
able. General business is fairly active.

points. The output of iron for the first

warranted. In the grain markets specula-
